Arianna Huffington's New App Can Solve Annoying Phone Notification Problem

As the best app rank boosting service site, apptop25.com can offer you professional app store optimization guides and service to boost your app ranking. And the latest mobile app news also available here. What I want to tell you for today is the Arianna Huffington's new app named Thrive.

Arianna Huffington has partnered with Samsung to create Thrive that helps you disconnect from the internet while also humblebragging to your friends that you can't be reached. Like Do Not Disturb, Thrive can schedule times to be disconnected as well as whitelist people / notifications that can reach you even when the app is enabled. Unlike Do Not Disturb, if someone not on your “VIP” list tries to contact you while your phone is in “Thrive Mode,” a text will be sent to them that you're “thriving.”

Where the app differs from the standard Do Not Disturb mode is that anyone trying to contact you while your phone is in "Thrive Mode" will receive a message telling them that you're having a break from your phone until whatever time you've specified, and encouraging them to do the same.

This "bi-directional" do-not-disturb mode will hopefully create "a positive kind of FOMO – fear of missing out on being disconnected occasionally," said Ms Huffington, launching the app at Samsung's annual software developer conference here in San Francisco.

The official site announced Thrive would be available in December exclusively for Samsung devices only through the Samsung Galaxy Store. Keep your eyes here for more news.
